GUpdate

Update current GO installation to the latest version available

How?

• Clone repo and build gupdate

  git clone https://github.com/surendrajat/gupdate && cd gupdate && go build .

• Run gupdate

  ./gupdate or sudo ./gupdate depending on your installation dir

Why?

Frustration little, little laziness.

"It is intended that programs written to the Go 1 specification will continue to compile and run correctly, unchanged, over the lifetime of that specification."

So why don't I use latest GO as soon it's released? Laziness, perhaps. Downloading and extracting each time made me think why not write a shell script? But then again, GO is perfect for this task. Also, why don't I just use some existing version manager or go get ...? I simply want to update the existing installation and nothing else.
